Reason magazine is a leading libertarian monthly magazine from the Reason Foundation.
Reason, founded in 1968 by Lanny Friedlander as an occasional mimiographed publication and later 1970 begun as a regular monthly magazine by Robert W. Poole, Manuel S. Klausner, Tibor R. Machan and Co., is the monthly print magazine of "free minds and free markets". It covers politics, culture, and ideas through a mix of news, analysis, commentary, and reviews.
Nick Gillespie has been the magazine's Editor-in-Chief since 2000. Other writers include Charles Paul Freund, Jacob Sullum, Jesse Walker, Brian Doherty, Ronald Bailey, Tim Cavanaugh, Julian Sanchez, Kerry Howley, David Weigel, Cathy Young, Jonathan Rauch, and cartoonist Peter Bagge.
Erik Spiekermann, the inventor of the typeface Meta, made a redesign of Reason in 2001, aiming for a look "cleaner, more modern, making use of the Meta typeface throughout".
In June 2004, subscribers to Reason magazine received a personalized issue that had their name, and a satellite photo of their home or workplace on the cover.
The magazine now has a circulation of around 60,000 and has twice been named one of the country's "50 best magazines" by the Chicago Tribune[1]. In addition, since December of 2002 the magazine's website has hosted a popular blog, Hit & Run, with many Reason writers as contributors.
